This book provides a detailed review of the accumulated experience and lessons from China’s agricultural reform and opening-up since the late 1970s, examining various aspects of this transition and providing a new perspective that can contribute to developing economic theories. The success of China’s reform and opening up creates benefits for farmers, and is driven by farmers. The past experience, problems revealed and lessons learned from failures of market-orientated and progressive refo...

Although sensor fusion is an essential prerequisite for autonomous driving, it entails a number of challenges and potential risks. For example, the commonly used deep fusion networks are lacking in interpretability and robustness. To address these fundamental issues, this book introduces the mechanism of deep fusion models from the perspective of uncertainty and models the initial risks in order to create a robust fusion architecture.This book reviews the multi-sensor data fusion m...

This book summarizes recent efforts and advances in the roll bonding of metal laminates to reveal the potential mechanism. Based on the comprehensive understanding and our numerous original works, some important issues about the fabrication method, evolution mechanism of bonding interface and reinforcement factors of roll-bonded metal laminates are discussed and emphasized. Furthermore, some prospective viewpoints about the design, fabrication and fracture mechanism of roll-bonded metal la...

This book highlights the failure theories and evaluation techniques of thermal barrier coatings, covering the thermal-mechanical–chemical coupling theories, performance and damage characterization techniques, and related evaluations. Thermal barrier coatings are the key thermal protection materials for high-temperature components in advanced aeroengines. Coating spallation is a major technical bottleneck faced by researchers. The extremely complex microstructure, diverse service environmen...

This is an English translation of a Chinese textbook that has been designated a national planned university textbook, the highest award given to scientific textbooks in China. The book provides a complete overview of mechanical properties and fracture mechanics in materials science, mechanics, and physics. It details the macro- and micro-mechanical properties of metal structural materials, nonmetal structural materials, and various functional materials. It also discusses the macro and micr...

Assuring Safe Operation of Robotic Systems under Uncertainty: Control and Learning Methods applies set-theoretic and reinforcement learning approaches to formulate, analyze, and solve the challenge of ensuring safe operation of robotic systems in an uncertain environment.The authors adopt learning-supported, set-theoretic methods—specifically, the barrier Lyapunov function and the control barrier function—to achieve desirable robust safety with guaranteed performance in co...

This book systematically reviews the experiences and problems encountered in the development of China’s rural areas over the past three decades since the start of the country’s economic reform. As such, it addresses the most important aspects in terms of China’s rural communities, farmers and agriculture from the perspective of development, such as the agricultural management system, rural land tenure system, rural fiscal and taxation system, financial system, science and technology system...

Narrated in Chinese, an old professor from Beijing University, at end of Qing dynasty, Republic and early People's Republic of China, tells about what a Ru-ism is doing: follow mass scribes, note strange or fresh bugs and fishes, chant spring wind and autumn moon with head and tail rotating, also explore the reason of country governance peace or war, explore the root to decide mass's living condition, in a light and natural way, touch you softly in tears...北大教授，时值清末，民国，新中国初期，一个儒生，他一辈子在干什么：...

Construction and Application of Intelligent Driving Scenario Maps systematically introduces the theory and practical application of map technology in intelligent driving, from algorithm design and key scenario map construction techniques to advanced applications, updating and validation, and future development prospects. The book examines multiple vehicle positioning technologies grounded in scene maps, assessing their effectiveness and applicability for enhancing intelligent driving syste...

Although climate change is reducing the extent of sea ice in the polar region, it also enlarges the operation time window and enables more ships to choose routes where ice is prevalent. Global increases in maritime trade additionally factor into this. The number of polar ships is on the increase and the total exposure to sea ice is growing significantly. Ships sailing through ice-covered regions need to be powerful enough to overcome the additional resistance and strong enough to withstand...
